CHARLES RICHARD HAMILTON, OF` HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA.

ICE-CREAM FREEZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,723, dated August 18, 1903.

Application tiled January 28, 1903. Serial No. 140,870. (No model.)

To ctZ w/wm t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES RICHARD HAM- ILTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Huntsville, in the county of Madison and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ice-Cream Freezers, dac.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to newand useful improvements in ice-cream freezers, the., and in carrying out the present invention it is my aim to generally improve upon the construction of apparatus for which I have been granted Letters Patent in the United States, No. 666,269.

In the present. invention I utilize a receptacle with aconical-shaped bottom and a hollow perforated conical dasher, whereby the material which is being agitated may be thoroughly cooled or mixed, and it is my purpose to utilize the receptacle for various purposes independent of the tubadapted to contain ice, as for use in egg-beating, churning, the making of whipped cream, and other purposes.

The invention consists, essentially, in the provision of a receptacle having a lid or cap which is adapted to fit over the top of the receptacle and provided with a central aperture through which the stem of the dasher is adapted to reciprocate, the outer end of the stem of the dasher being bent hook-shaped and so constructed that the cap or lid may be easily separated from the handle or stem of the dasher and at the same time be held to the stem when raised from the top of the receptacle, the upper face of said cap or lid being preferably concaved adjacent to the central aperture therein, whereby any material which may happen to be drawn up to the stem of the dasher may run back through the hole in the cap instead of running over the edges thereof.

The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters 0f reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which drawings similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the Views, in which- Figure lis a vertical sectional View centrally through my improved freezer, eggbeater, dto. Fig. 2 is a view showing the same positioned within a tub and adapted for use as au ice-cream freezer. Fig. 3 is aview showing the receptacle packed in a tub of ice, with the dasher removed and the same lid which is utilized with the dasher applied to the receptacle and the aperture for the stem of the dasher being shown as closed with a cork. Fig. et is a sectional view showing the dasher raised within the receptacle and the cover held by the hooked end of the stem, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the lid or top of the receptacle.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle, which may be of any desired shape and having an upwardly-projecting cone-shaped bottom B. The dasher C is made of conical shape and hollow and adapted to conform to the conical outlined surface of the bottom B and has a series of apertures D formed therein, whereby any material which is being agitated within the receptacle may be forced through the same and become thoroughly agitated, either for the purpose of rapidly cooling and freezing the material or for mixing it when used for other purposes than freezing, as in beating eggs, churning, Whipping cream, thc. A stem E is connected to said dasher in any suitable manner, as by threaded connection with a socket, as shown, and the upper portion of the receptacle is provided with an annular bead F, against which the flange of the cap H is adapted to contact. Said cap or lid has its upper surface coucaved, as at K, adjacent to the oentral aperture L therein, and is provided with a ange N about its circumference. Said central aperture L is provided for the purpose of receiving the stem F of the dasher, and the concaved or depressed portion about said aperture is provided for the purpose of causing any material which may cling to the stem of the dasher to run back through the aperture into the receptacle instead of run- ICO ning over the edge of the lid, as would be the case if the upper surface of the lid or top were horizontal or inclined away from the center. A suitable disk M is seated in a countersunken recess H in the top of the lid for the purpose of making a tight joint between the stem and the disk. The upper end ofthe stein of the dasher is bent hook-shaped, as at Q, and serves as a handle whereby the dasher may be reciprocated and also serves as means whereby the lid may be held by the hook when raised from the receptacle, as shown in Fig. 4C of the drawings, thus holding the stem and the lid together when it is desired merely to raise the lid for any purpose, but at the same time said hooked end being so shaped that when desired the lid may be taken oEE the hooked end and the dasher and stem removed from the receptacle and the lid replaced as a cover, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. By reason of the peculiar shape of the bent end of the siem it will be observed that the lid maybe easilyremoved and replaced.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings I have shown a exible bar R, which is pivoted at R to the tub and is adapted to hold the lid in place vwithin the tub when the receptacle is used for any purpose in which it is desired to cool the material by bringing ice about the circumference and underneath the bottom of the same.

From the foregoing it will be noted that by the provision of the apparatus forming the subject-matter oE the present application I provide means whereby the receptacle may shown in my former patent, and provide sim- Y ple means whereby the lid may be used'in connection with -a dasher and may be heldin the crooked end of the stem of the dasher while temporary access is being had to the receptacle and convenient means for removing the lid from the hooked end of the stem when it is desired to remove the dasher from the receptacle'.

While I have shown particular details of construction embodying the features of my invention, it will be understood that I may make slight alterations in the construction of the same without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An ice-cream freezer', dac. comprising a receptacle having a conical-shaped. bottom, a hollow conical-shaped dasher with perforations therein, a stem secured to said dasher, a centrally-apertured lid to said receptacle through which the stem reoiprocates, the free end of said stem being bent substantially seinicircular in outline forming a handle, and as to allow the lid to be removed therefrom, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES RICHARD HAMILTON.
